As longtime NIK Sharpener user, I can tell you that Robin gives solid advice on how to use NIK Sharpener. I've even learned some new things by reading his book. Robin clarifies some questions I've in the back of my mind. For example, why is generally better to reduce noise first, then sharpen and not the other way around? Robin explains it all in this book.
I have now read almost all of Robin Whaley's books over the past month, especially those books on Nik software. I have read other guides to software, but none compare to the clarity of these. He provides the essential details about how and when to use the software as well as an understanding of the principles and concepts that guide the use of the software. He employs ample examples show step-by-step how to achieve the most from the software. His writing style is straightforward, concise, and easy to read (without the cute attempts at humor found in other books). I have learned much from him. Now I am reading them again to engrain his lessons into my habits. I hope he will continue to produce such guides.
Mr. Whalley's explanation of digital sharpness and how NIK's algorithm works gave me a good understanding of underpinnings of Sharpener Pro. His step by step instructions with examples provide an excellent jump start in my quest to make this one of my go-to tools in my post-processing repertoir. Kudos to Robin Whalley's efforts.
I have used the Google-Nik plug-ins for a long time and have achieved prize-winning results - but I learned some key points thanks to the recent help books by Robin Whalley. The Kindle is a neat platform for these books. I am still working my way through this book, and I suspect I'll be doing more with these interesting sharpening techniques.
Of the four in this series that I've read so far this was the least helpful. It's still a decent book just not quite as good as the others in the series. The tool is well explained and the author shows how to integrate it into your workflow. There are, once again, downloadable workfiles to work along with the author and two examples at the end. Overall, it's decent but I found just working with the tool was almost as good. Also Nik software has a free video on Youtube, Multi-Pass Sharpening Techniques Using Sharpener Pro 3.0 with Dan Hughes, that is excellent for showing you how to utilize the tool to its fullest. The book provides a decent adjunct to this.
it is exactly what I needed for my understanding of this concrete Nik SW features Thanks a lot for this e-brochure, Kindle books are very good advantage for readers. Thank you. Jirka Pavel
